Pollinators are critical for food security; however, their contribution to the pollination of locally
important crops is still unclear, especially for non-bee pollinators. We reviewed the diversity …

Cultivation of pollinator-dependent crops has expanded globally, increasing our reliance on
insect pollination. This essential ecosystem service is provided by a wide range of managed …

Biodiversity loss during the Anthropocene is a serious ecological challenge. Pollinators are
important vectors that provide multiple essential ecosystem services but are declining …

As synthetic pesticides play a major role in pollinator decline worldwide, biopesticides have
been gaining increased attention to develop more sustainable methods for pest …

Australian horticulture relies heavily on the introduced managed honey bee, Apis mellifera
Linnaeus 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae), to pollinate crops. Given the risks associated with …

Many insect species provide essential pollination services. However, the amount of pollen
deposited onto a stigma when visiting a flower ('single visit pollen deposition', SVD) can vary …

Premise Many animals provide ecosystem services in the form of pollination including
honeybees, which have become globally dominant floral visitors. A rich literature documents …

Insects thrive in diverse ecological niches in large part because of their highly sophisticated
olfactory systems. Over the last two decades, a major focus in the study of insect olfaction …

Pollinator declines, changes in land use and climate-induced shifts in phenology have the
potential to seriously affect ecosystem function and food security by disrupting pollination …

The attention of the global pollination community has been drawn to food safety and other
ecosystem services provided by pollinators, in light of decline in social bee populations …
